Project Assignment (starting - Sept 22, 2014): No due date set yet
1. Each student will be assigned to one of three groups. 2. Each group will be assigned the task of researching evidence to support one of the Key Concepts of this period (1607-1754):


 * Key Concept 2.1**: Differences in imperial goals, cultures, and the North American environments that different empires confronted led Europeans to develop diverse patterns of colonization.


 * Key Concept 2.2**: European colonization efforts in North America stimulated intercultural contact and intensified conflict between the various groups of colonizers and native peoples.


 * Key Concept 2.3:** The increasing political, economic, and cultural exchanges within the "Atlantic World" had a profound impact on the development of colonial societies in North America

3. Groups will help each other become specialists about their concept, divide up research assignments and then collaborate on the design of their project.
 * **The objective of the project is to design a learning tool their classmates can use to understand the key concept each group is assigned. The learning tool should communicate the information and ideas necessary to support an argument in favor of their key concept.**
